c# - Best way to get range from 1 to n-1 with linq -

i use linq query sorted list n elements, can elemnts between first , last.

i have tried following, seems not good:

var result1 = mylist.skip(1).take(mylist.count()-2);  var result2 = mylist.getrange(1, mylist.count()-2); 

are there other ways achieve goal?

you have take account linq perform many loops necessary achieve purpose. sometimes, writing own loop gets better results. encapsulate loop extension methods , 1 line solution:

namespace system.linq {     public static class mylinqextensions     {         public static ienumerable<t> range<t>(this ienumerable<t> input, int start, int end)         {                            int = 0;             foreach(var item in input)             {                 if(i < start) continue;                 if(i > end) break;                  yield return item;                  i++;             }         }     } }
